Description

Electroplating product, electroplating method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electroplating, and particularly relates to an electroplating product, an electroplating method and application.
Background
The purpose of plastic electroplating is to coat metal on the surface of plastic, thereby not only increasing the appearance, but also compensating the defects of the plastic, endowing the plastic with the property of metal, fully playing the characteristics of the plastic and the metal into a whole, and a large number of plastic electroplating products are applied to the industries of electronics, automobiles, household appliances and the like.
Compared with metal products, the plastic electroplated product not only can realize good metal texture, but also can reduce the weight of the product, and effectively improve the appearance and the decoration of the plastic, and simultaneously improve the performances of the plastic in aspects of electricity, heat, corrosion resistance and the like. With the rapid development of industry and the increasingly wide application of plastic electroplating, the plastic electroplating becomes one of the important means for surface decoration in plastic products. Electroplating is widely performed on the surfaces of ABS, polypropylene, polysulfone, polycarbonate, nylon, phenolic glass fiber reinforced plastics, polystyrene and other plastics at home and abroad.
The existing plastic electroplating process generally needs pretreatment to perform electroplating process, and the pretreatment comprises hydrophilization treatment and chemical plating treatment, wherein the hydrophilization treatment aims to make the plastic surface compatible with an aqueous plating solution, and a chemical method is adopted, namely, a strong oxidizing solution containing chromic anhydride and sulfuric acid mixture is adopted for treatment. However, the chemical method uses toxic chemicals, which has the problem of environmental pollution; the electroless plating treatment aims to form a layer of metal conductive film on the surface of the plastic, so as to provide conductivity and electroplating nucleation sites for the subsequent electroplating process. Through chemical plating treatment, noble metal ions such as gold, silver, platinum or palladium with catalysis in the plating solution are reduced and deposited on a plastic substrate to form a metal conductive film (the thickness is about 0.05-0.8 mu m), and the noble metal ions are used in the chemical plating solution, so that the problem of high process cost exists. After electroless plating, an electroplated metal layer (e.g., copper, iron, nickel, etc.) is deposited over the metal conductive film by an electroplating process to complete the electroplating of the plastic part.
Therefore, the existing plastic electroplating has the problems of complex preparation process, low efficiency, environmental pollution and high cost because the hydrophilization treatment, the chemical plating and the electroplating processes are needed.

The technical features of the present invention will be further described below by way of specific examples.
Example 1
The embodiment provides a plastic electroplated product 100, as shown in FIG. 1, comprising a polymer matrix 10, a conductive MXene layer 20 and an electroplated metal layer 30, wherein the conductive MXene layer 20 contains MXene material; wherein the polymer matrix is sheet-shaped or film-shaped, the conductive MXene layer 20 is arranged on one side surface of the polymer matrix 10, and the electroplated metal layer 30 is arranged on the conductive MXene layer 20. In another embodiment, the conductive MXene layer 20 is disposed on both side surfaces of the polymer matrix 10 (FIG. 2), resulting in an electroplated product 200. The present invention is not limited to the shape of the polymer matrix, and in another embodiment, the polymer matrix 10 is cylindrical or linear (fig. 3) to provide a cylindrical or linear plastic plated product 300. In other embodiments, the polymer matrix may also be tubular, porous, or irregularly shaped.
The embodiment also provides a preparation method of the plastic electroplating product, which comprises the following steps:
s01: coating the surface of the matrix with an MXene material to form a conductive MXene layer;
s02: and electroplating and depositing an electroplated metal layer on the surface of the conductive MXene layer.
The embodiment also provides another electroplated product, which is a metal foil with a sandwich structure, as shown in fig. 4, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:
S11: coating the surface of the matrix with an MXene material to form a conductive MXene layer;
s12: stripping the matrix in the compound obtained in the step S11 to obtain a conductive MXene layer;
s13: and (3) electroplating and depositing the conductive MXene layer obtained in the step (S12) to form an electroplated metal layer, thereby obtaining an electroplated product with a sandwich structure and an electroplated layer on both sides and a conductive MXene layer in the middle, namely the composite metal foil 120.
The embodiment also provides another electroplated product, which is a metal foil with a conductive MXene layer on one side, as shown in FIG. 5, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:
s21: coating the surface of the matrix with an MXene material to form a conductive MXene layer;

s23: the matrix in the composite obtained in step S22 is peeled off to obtain another electroplated product, a composite metal foil 110 having a conductive MXene layer on one side.
In steps S01, S11, and S21, the method of coating the surface of the substrate with the MXene material to form the conductive MXene layer may be a dry method or a wet method, where the dry method refers to forming a film layer on the surface of the substrate by using powder of the MXene material, a binder, and the like under the condition of no solvent; the wet method is to coat the dispersing liquid of MXene on the surface of a substrate by spraying, dipping, coating and other methods, and form a conductive MXene layer after drying and removing the solvent. The dry process avoids the step of removing the solvent, can simplify the process flow, but forms a stable continuous conductive layer, requires the addition of a binder, a non-conductive binder, and reduces the continuous conductivity of the conductive MXene layer surface. Thus, a wet process is preferably employed. The wet process has the beneficial effects that the MXene material can be more uniformly dispersed on the surface of the matrix; although the solvent removal step is included, because of the good hydrophilicity of the MXene material, aqueous solvents (including water and/or alcohol solvents) are typically employed, which have the advantage of low cost and ease of removal. In a specific embodiment, the method comprises the following steps: coating the MXene dispersion liquid on the surface of a substrate through one or more spraying and/or coating to form an MXene film, and drying to form a conductive MXene layer; in another specific embodiment, the method comprises: the substrate is pulled and/or immersed from the MXene dispersion liquid for a plurality of times, so that the MXene two-dimensional sheets in the dispersion liquid are directionally and continuously coated on the surface of the substrate under the action of surface tension, and a conductive MXene layer is formed after drying.
Wherein, the MXene dispersion liquid in the invention refers to a liquid or semi-liquid (gel state or slurry state) mixture containing MXene material; optionally, the MXene dispersion liquid also comprises a certain amount of binder (accounting for 0.01-50% of the mass of the dry material), the content of the binder is comprehensively judged in combination with the binding performance and the electroplating performance, and the smaller the content of the binder is, the better the electroplating effect and the binding performance are under the premise of ensuring; preferably, the binder is an aqueous binder, optionally selected from one or more of LA133 aqueous binder, methylcellulose (CMC), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR), aqueous polyurethane, etc.
Alternatively, the concentration of the MXene dispersion is between 0.01mg/ml and 80mg/ml, selected according to the method of coating. Methods of coating the substrate with the MXene dispersion optionally include spraying, coating, dipping, and the like. In a specific embodiment, the method comprises the following steps: coating 0.01-2 mg/ml of MXene dispersion liquid on the surface of a matrix through one or more times of spraying, and drying to form a conductive MXene layer; in another embodiment, the method comprises the steps of carrying out one or more times of dipping and pulling on 1-10 mg/ml of MXene dispersion liquid, so that MXene in the dispersion liquid is coated on the surface of a substrate under the action of surface tension, and forming a conductive MXene layer after drying; in another embodiment, the method comprises applying 10-80 mg/ml of the MXene dispersion to the surface of the substrate via a medium (e.g., brush, doctor blade, etc.), and drying to form a conductive MXene layer.
The chemical formula of the MXene material in the invention can be expressed as M n+1 X n T x Wherein M represents one or more of transition metal elements; x represents one or more of carbon, nitrogen or boron, and T represents a surface functional group; n is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 4, x is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 2; in some embodiments M is selected from one or more of Ti, nb, ta, nb, V, mo, zr, cr. The MXene material is typically prepared from a precursor MAX by phase etching the a component therein. Common MXene materials are Ti 3 C 2 T x 、Ti 2 CT x 、V 2 CT x 、Nb 2 CT x 、Mo 2 CT x 、Ti 4 C 3 T x 、Ta 2 CT x 、Ta 4 C 3 T x 、TiNbCT x Etc.
In some embodiments, an adhesive is added to the conductive MXene layer as needed to increase the bonding force between the conductive MXene layer and the substrate; i.e. the mass content of the MXene material in the conductive MXene layer is between 30% and 100%; the higher the content of the MXene material in the conductive MXene layer is, the better the conductivity and the hydrophilicity are, but the bonding force between the conductive MXene material and the polymer matrix is reduced; in other embodiments, the conductive MXene layer also functions as a separation layer, which does not contain a binder. Thus, preferably, the mass content of the MXene material in the conductive MXene layer is between 50% and 100%, more preferably between 80% and 100%; and still more preferably, between 90% and 100%.
The invention electroplates the surface of the conductive MXene layer to form the electroplated metal layer, the surface of the substrate is not contacted with the metal layer, but the conductive MXene layer is used as the connecting layer of the substrate and the electroplated metal layer, so the preparation method of the invention has universality for various substrates.
In some embodiments, the bonding force between the conductive MXene layer and the polymer matrix may be enhanced by roughening the surface of the polymer matrix (e.g., corona or etching), i.e., etching "pits" in the surface of the polymer matrix, thereby reducing the amount of binder or eliminating the use of binder.
In some embodiments, the polymer matrix may be selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polysulfone (PSF or PSU), polycarbonate (PC), phenolic resin, phenolic glass fiber reinforced plastic, nylon, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyimide (PI), polypropylene, polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyphenylene Sulfide (PPs), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polystyrene (PS), polyamide (PA), and derivatives of one or more of the foregoing polymers.
In some embodiments, the type of metal in the electroplated metal layer may be selected from one or more of copper, nickel, chromium, zinc, cadmium, lead, gold, silver, platinum, iron, cobalt, manganese, antimony, bismuth, gallium, indium, thallium, palladium, rhenium, rhodium, osmium, iridium, niobium, tungsten.
In some embodiments, the conductive MXene layer has a thickness between 1nm and 20 μm. The conductive MXene layer may be applied by coating, spraying, dip-coating, or the like a dispersion (which may also be a paint) containing MXene on the polymer substrate. Since the MXene material is typically a two-dimensional material, the monolayer is only 1nm thick. When the two-dimensional sheet 21 of MXene is formed as a single layer or a continuous distribution of a small number of layers on the surface of the polymer matrix, such as by dip-coating, the thickness of the conductive MXene layer can be as low as 1nm to 3nm, resulting in an ultra-thin conductive MXene layer (as shown in FIG. 6). When the spray coating method or the coating method is adopted, the thickness of the conductive MXene layer can be controlled to be in the range of several micrometers (1 μm to 100 μm). Thus, the thickness of the conductive MXene layer can be adjusted between 1nm and 100 μm.
The thickness of the electroplated metal layer is controlled by adjusting the conditions of the electroplating process as desired, and in some embodiments, is between 50nm and 500 μm. Because the preparation method of the invention does not need to carry out chemical plating treatment, magnetron sputtering or evaporation plating process and only has one electroplating process, the metal layer of the plastic electroplated product is only the thickness of the electroplated metal layer, namely, the invention can obtain an electroplated part with an ultrathin metal layer (about 50 nm-10 mu m). The electroplating conditions of the electroplated metal layer are optimized according to the conditions of different metal ions; preferably, the electroplating DC voltage is 1V-5V, and the electroplating current is 0.5-100A/dm 2 Electroplating time is between 10s and 60 min; more preferably, the plating current is 2 to 65A/dm 2 The electroplating time is between 10s and 5 min.

Specific electroplating conditions can be adjusted by one skilled in the art with limited experimental optimization depending on the specific implementation.
Example 5
The embodiment provides a specific plastic electroplating product and a preparation method thereof, wherein a PET film with the thickness of 10 mu m is selected as a polymer matrix in the embodiment, and the preparation method of the plastic electroplating product comprises the following steps:
(1) Preparing Ti with mass concentration of 2mg/ml 3 C 2 T x Aqueous dispersion (without binder);
(2) A PET film having a thickness of 10 μm was impregnated with Ti 3 C 2 T x After the water-based dispersion, the PET film is slowly pulled out of the water surface at a constant speed to ensure that Ti 3 C 2 T x Two-dimensional Ti in aqueous dispersion 3 C 2 T x Coating the PET film on the surface of the PET film under the action of the surface tension of the aqueous solution, naturally airing the pulled PET film, repeatedly lifting and drying for a plurality of times (5 times), placing the PET film in a vacuum oven, and vacuum drying for 4 hours at 50 ℃ to obtain a PET/MXene compound;
(3) The dried PET/MXene composite was placed in an electroplating apparatus for copper electroplating, and the specific copper electroplating process was similar to example 2, except that the electroplating current was 2A/dm 2 ElectroplatingThe time was 30s, and a copper composite film PET/MXene/Cu was obtained as shown in FIG. 9 a.
Fig. 9a shows SEM images of the surface of the copper composite film, and it can be seen that the surface of the electroplated copper layer is smooth and flat, and the surface of the electroplated metallic copper layer has the characteristics of smoothness and compactness. FIG. 9b shows a cross-sectional SEM photograph of the copper composite film, and it can be seen that the conductive MXene layer has a thickness of about 1 μm and the electroplated copper layer has a thickness of about 1 μm. Fig. 9c shows that the electroplated copper layer has a smooth surface, illustrating that the metallic copper achieves uniform electroplating on the conductive MXene layer.
Example 6
This example provides another specific electroplated copper product and a method of making the same. Similar to example 5, except that the polymer film was coated with a high concentration of MXene dispersion (50 mg/ml) by doctor blade in this example. More specific steps include:
(1) Preparing Ti with mass concentration of 50mg/ml 3 C 2 T x Aqueous dispersion (viscous slurry);
(2) The Ti is treated with 3 C 2 T x The aqueous dispersion is coated on one side of the PET film by a scraper to form a layer of Ti 3 C 2 T x Film, ti can be conveniently controlled by scraping the gap between PET films 3 C 2 T x The thickness of the film is dried in vacuum for 4 hours at 50 ℃ to form a conductive MXene layer, and a PET/MXene composite layer is obtained;
(3) The dried PET/MXene composite layer was placed in an electroplating apparatus for electroplating, and the specific electroplating process was similar to example 2, except that the electroplating current was 65A/dm 2 The plating time was 30 seconds to obtain a plated copper product of the invention (FIG. 10 a). As can be seen from a cross-sectional SEM photograph (FIG. 10 b), the electroplated copper layer has a thickness of about 10 μm and the conductive MXene layer has a thickness of about 3. Mu.m.
The dip-coating method of example 5 is more preferable than the spray-coating method of example 2 and the coating method of example 6 because during the process of the dip-coating, the film of the polymer matrix is pulled out of the liquid, and the surface tension of the liquid acts to orient and lay the two-dimensional sheets of MXene in the MXene dispersion on the surface of the polymer matrix, so that conductive MXene layers that can completely cover the surface of the polymer matrix and further coat the surface of the polymer matrix are obtained, and as shown in the schematic diagram of fig. 6, the MXene two-dimensional sheets are laid and overlapped on the surface of the polymerized matrix, forming an ultra-thin MXene layer, the thickness of which can be as low as several layers of MXene two-dimensional sheets, which can be adhered to the surface of the polymer matrix due to the flexibility of the MXene two-dimensional sheets.
Since Ti is 3 C 2 T x Has good hydrophilicity, can be stably dispersed in an aqueous solution, and does not need the use of a dispersing agent. Conventional dispersants and binders are non-conductive components that, if added to the dispersion, can affect the conductive properties of the coated MXene layer and thus the surface plating effect of the MXene layer. Of course, the present invention does not exclude the addition of small amounts of binder to the MXene dispersion according to the actual needs.
Similarly, the PET/MXene composites obtained in this example were prepared by the methods of examples 3 and 4 to obtain plastic plated lead and nickel products, respectively.
Example 7
In the embodiment, the plastic electroplated copper product after the electroplated copper treatment is subjected to the electroplated lead treatment, and the electroplated metal lead layer is arranged on the surface of the electroplated metal copper layer. As shown in FIG. 11, a photograph of the composite PP/MXene/Cu/Pb with double-layer plated metal layer obtained after the surface plating of the plastic copper plating product PP/MXene/Cu in example 2 was given.
Comparative example 1
By adopting a method similar to that of the embodiment 5, replacing the MXene dispersion liquid with the graphene dispersion liquid to prepare a compound with a conductive graphene layer on the PET surface, electroplating copper under the same condition, wherein the cross section and the surface SEM (scanning electron microscope) photograph of an electroplated product are as shown in fig. 12, compact electroplating of metal copper is difficult to realize on the graphene layer surface, the binding force between the metal copper and the graphene layer is poor, the plating layer is easy to fall off and peel, a porous structure exists on the uneven surface of the electroplated copper layer, and the electroplating effect is poor.
Because the preparation method of the plastic electroplating product involves an electroplating process, namely, needs to be immersed in an aqueous electroplating solution for electroplating deposition, the conductive nucleation layer on the polymer matrix is required to have good hydrophilicity and conductivity. Although graphene is similar to MXene materials, has a two-dimensional lamellar structure, conductivity, conductive graphene (e.g., reduced mechanically exfoliated, electrochemically or chemically) is generally not hydrophilic; however, graphene oxide having hydrophilicity is not good in conductivity, and is difficult to apply to an electroplating process, or to obtain a good electroplated metal layer.
In addition, compared with graphene, the MXene material provided by the application is further different in that: (1) The surface of the MXene material is provided with rich functional groups, especially halogen-containing functional groups (such as-F). The nucleation overpotential of metal deposition can be reduced, the metal plating layer is promoted to uniformly grow, and a compact and uniform electroplated metal layer is obtained; (2) The MXene material is transition metal carbon and/or nitride, and the constituent elements comprise transition metal elements, when the MXene is used as a nucleating agent, the transition metal elements and the metallic copper have similar metallicity, so that a tightly-combined electroplated metal layer is formed.
In the specific embodiment of the invention, MXene Ti is adopted 3 C 2 T x As the MXene material is a two-dimensional material, the MXene material has similar physical and chemical characteristics, such as hydrophilicity, abundant surface functional groups, conductivity and the like. In other embodiments, other types of MXene materials, such as Ti 2 CT x 、V 2 CT x 、Mo 2 CT x 、Nb 2 CT x 、Ta 2 CT x 、Ta 3 C 2 T x 、Ta 4 C 3 T x 、Ti 4 C 3 T x Etc. It is reasonably expected that the same production of MXene Ti is possible 3 C 2 T x The same technical effect. The application of these different types of MXene materials in the electroplating process of the non-conductive substrate is within the technical concept of the invention.
Since the metal plating layer is deposited and grown on the conductive MXene layer in the electroplating method of the invention, the type of the substrate material is not limited, that is, the electroplating method of the invention has universality, and the electroplating method of the invention can be performed on other non-polymer substrates such as metal, ceramic, glass materials and the like. The invention also provides an electroplated product, namely a composite material with an electroplated metal layer, which comprises a substrate, a conductive MXene layer on the surface of the substrate and an electroplated metal layer arranged on the surface of the conductive MXene layer. The substrate comprises: including metals, ceramics, glass, polymers.
The invention takes the MXene material with a two-dimensional structure as a nucleating agent for electroplating metal ion deposition, and has the advantages that the MXene material lamination with the two-dimensional structure can completely cover a non-conductive material matrix, the metal ions are nucleated and grown on the conductive MXene layer to avoid the gap exposure or hole defect on the surface of the non-conductive material, and the obtained electroplated metal layer has the characteristics of compactness and smoothness (see figure 9 c); that is, the electroplating method of the invention also solves the problem that the metal particles generated by the chemical plating or the magnetron sputtering or the vapor plating mode nucleate the conductive layer, and the non-conductive substrate is inevitably covered incompletely because the metal particles are discontinuously distributed on the non-conductive substrate, so that the electroplated metal layer has pores.
Example 8
The embodiment provides an electroplated copper composite material with a glass fiber fabric (GF) matrix, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:
(1) Preparing Ti with mass concentration of 1mg/ml 3 C 2 T x An aqueous dispersion to which 0.5wt.% of binder CMC was added;
(2) Impregnating glass fiber braid with Ti 3 C 2 T x Taking out the aqueous dispersion liquid, drying, soaking and drying again, and repeating for several times to form a conductive MXene layer on the surface layer of the glass fiber; in this example, the impregnation was three times, the drying was performed in a vacuum oven, and vacuum drying was performed at 50℃for 4 hours to obtain a GF/MXene complex;
(3) The dried GF/MXene composite was placed in an electroplating apparatus for copper electroplating, and the specific copper electroplating process was similar to example 2, except that the electroplating time was 3min, to obtain a GF/MXene/Cu composite material. Fig. 13 shows a photograph of the GF/MXene/Cu composite material, and it can be seen that the electroplated copper layer also achieves a uniform electroplating effect on a substrate of a fiberglass braid.
Example 9
The glass fiber braid of example 8 was replaced with a ceramic material, in one example an alumina ceramic, and a ceramic composite having an electroplated copper layer on the surface was obtained in a similar manner.
Example 10
The glass fiber braid of example 8 was replaced with a metallic material, in one embodiment a metallic nickel foil, and a similar approach was used to obtain a metallic nickel/MXene/copper structured composite metallic foil material.
Since the metal base itself has conductivity and can be directly plated, the metal base does not have a technical problem that it is difficult to plate. The electroplating method provides a solution for solving the problems that the non-conductive matrix is difficult to electroplate, or the electroplating process is complex and the energy consumption is high, greatly simplifies the electroplating process, obtains the composite material with the surface provided with the electroplated metal layer, and has wide application prospect in the industrial fields of automobiles, household appliances and the like.
The applicant has also found that when the MXene dispersion is composed of an MXene material and a solvent, without a binder, the planar substrate can be easily peeled off due to the excellent binding force of the electroplated metal layer with the conductive MXene layer, resulting in an electroplated product without the substrate, which is a metal foil containing the conductive MXene layer, as shown below by way of example:
example 11
This example provides a metal copper foil as an electroplated product and a method for preparing the same, which is coated on a polymer PET film by a doctor blade with a high concentration of MXene dispersion (50 mg/ml). More specific steps include:
(1) Preparing Ti with mass concentration of 50mg/ml 3 C 2 T x Aqueous dispersion (in the form of a viscous slurry) in which the solvent is water and no binder;
(2) The Ti is treated with 3 C 2 T x The aqueous dispersion was applied to one side of a PET film by doctor blade to form a layer of Ti 3 C 2 T x Film, ti can be conveniently controlled by scraping the gap between PET films 3 C 2 T x The thickness of the film is dried in vacuum for 4 hours at 50 ℃ to form a conductive MXene layer, and a PET/MXene composite layer is obtained;
(3) The dried PET/MXene composite layer is placed in an electroplating device for electroplating treatment, and the specific electroplating process steps are similar to those of the embodiment 2, wherein the electroplating time is 30s, an electroplated copper layer is formed on the surface of the PET/MXene composite layer, and after the PET/MXene/Cu composite layer is cleaned and dried, the composite PET/MXene/Cu is obtained.
For ease of illustration, in the electroplating step, half of the PET/MXene composite layer is placed in an electroplating apparatus for electroplating copper, and a photograph of the resulting product is shown in FIG. 14, where it can be seen that half of the black is the PET/MXene composite layer, where black is the conductive MXene layer; the other half of the metallic copper is an electroplated copper layer, and the matrix PET layer can be easily separated from the composite PET/MXene/Cu by tweezers, so that the metallic copper foil disclosed by the invention is obtained. The metal copper foil was complete and smooth in surface, and the thickness of the obtained metal copper foil was only 7 μm as measured by a thickness gauge (fig. 15). The substrate PET is separated, so that one side of the obtained metal copper foil is also provided with a conductive MXene layer, namely, the metal copper foil obtained by the method is provided with a metal copper surface on one side and a black MXene surface on the other side.
Fig. 16a shows SEM pictures of the surface of the metal copper foil, and it can be seen that the surface of the electroplated copper layer is smooth and flat. Since the method of the present invention is to obtain a metal copper foil by peeling off the base, the surface of the metal copper foil is inevitably able to detect the MXene material. FIGS. 16 b-c show metal copper foil surface element distribution tests (EDS) that characterize the Ti and F elements of MXene, demonstrating the presence of MXene material. That is, the metal copper foil of the present invention has a technical feature that the surface or the inside thereof contains an MXene material. The presence of M element and functional group elements in the MXene material can be detected by elemental analysis test characterization.

(2) Spraying the dispersion liquid on one side or two side surfaces of a PP film with the thickness of 10 mu m by a spraying machine, naturally airing, placing in a vacuum oven, and vacuum drying for 4 hours at 50 ℃ to obtain a PP/MXene composite layer;
(3) Placing the dried PP/MXene composite layer into an electroplating device for electroplating treatment, wherein the specific electroplating process is similar to that of the embodiment 2, and the electroplating time is 1min, so as to obtain a composite PP/MXene/Cu;
(4) And stripping the PP film in the composite PP/MXene/Cu to obtain the metal copper foil. FIG. 17 shows a cross-sectional SEM photograph of the metal copper foil, and it can be seen that the conductive MXene layer has a thickness of about 1 μm and the electroplated copper layer has a thickness of about 2. Mu.m.
Example 13

(1) Preparing Ti with mass concentration of 50mg/ml 3 C 2 T x Aqueous dispersion (in the form of a viscous slurry) in which the solvent is water and no binder;
(2) The Ti is treated with 3 C 2 T x The aqueous dispersion was applied to one side of a PET film by doctor blade to form a layer of Ti 3 C 2 T x Film, ti can be conveniently controlled by scraping the gap between PET films 3 C 2 T x The thickness of the film, after vacuum drying for 4 hours at 50 ℃, a conductive MXene layer is formed,obtaining a PET/MXene composite layer;
(3) Stripping the PET film in the dried PET/MXene composite layer to obtain a conductive MXene layer;
